After making a name for himself while attending the historical Grambling State University and releasing FREE Barabbas and Trilliam in 2015 and 2016, respectively, Aha signed with Reach Records and released his first mixtape, Trilliam 2. It peaked at #3 on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap charts and cemented Aha as one to watch. βMomma Houseβ turned heads everywhere, taking social media by storm, entering Spotifyβs US Viral Top 50 chart and receiving airplay on BET Jams. Put simply, Aha did what he came to do: capture our attention with a message of hope, strength, and non-conformity.
Enter Trilliam 3, Ahaβs highly anticipated 2017 mixtape to complete the Trilliam trilogy. From start to finish, thereβs a passion that shines through and arrests the listenerβs mind and heart as Aha grapples with questions of faith, equality, social justice, and his role as an artist with a growing platform. βTrilliam 3 is the climax of how I've been feeling about multiple things over the last couple of years,β Aha says. βEspecially the politics of being a successful black male under 25 in America. It's something I've been digesting lately and it's definitely spilling into the music.β
Unbothered
Aha Gazelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too cool just walk past it
Too smooth I'm long lastin
Get green like cytoplasm
Don't panic. No reaction
Too cool just walk past it
Too smooth I'm long lastin
Get green like cytoplasm
I know they sick of me like I got the flu
For everyone who's looking down on me check out my shoes
Forget everything you've heard about me I think you're confused
Y'all only support the people y'all don't know so I'm acting new
Just in case the party gets rowdy I brought my crew
I don't mind if y'all wanna fight me just don't shoot
I see you got on all this Nike so what you gon' do?
I'll just stay at home I ain't gotta go. I'm not a fool
It's not worth it I don't think so. I got too much to lose
If you jump at me I won't flinch. I'll never move
I'm not bothered by your nonsense. This is my mood
I'm not bothered by your nonsense. This is my mood
Go call a doctor cuz I got em all sick. I got the flu
For everyone who's looking down on me check out my shoes
Forget everything you've heard about me I think you're confused
Y'all only support the people y'all don't know so I'm acting new
Just in case the party gets rowdy I brought my crew
I don't mind if they wanna fight me just don't shoot
I see you got on all this Nike so what you gon' do?
I'll just stay at home I ain't gotta go. I'm not a fool
It's not worth it I don't think so. I got too much to lose
If you jump at me I won't flinch. I'll never move
I'm not bothered by your nonsense. This is my mood
I'm not bothered by your nonsense. This is my mood
Don't panic. No reaction
Too cool just walk past it
Too smooth I'm long lastin
Get green like cytoplasm
Don't panic. No reaction
Too cool just walk past it
Too smooth I'm long lastin
Get green like cytoplasm
